NEC LCD Technologies to Launch Three New TFT LCD Models to Further Enhance its Industrial Lineup

NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd. today announced that it will launch three new amorphous silicon thin film transistor, liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) modules on the market within the second half of fiscal 2005, expanding its line-up of TFT color LCDs for industrial use to meet a broader range of demands in this field. The new models will comprise of a 15.0-inch (38cm-diagonal) extended graphics array (XGA) TFT LCD, a 9.0-inch (23cm-diagonal) wide video graphics array (W-VGA) TFT LCD, and an 8.4-inch (21cm-diagonal) super video graphics array (SVGA) TFT LCD.

All three models support a wide operating temperature range, from -10 degrees Celsius to +70 degrees Celsius, guaranteeing stable operation even in the most extreme conditions. In addition, all three LCDs realize color input of 8bit RGB (16.77M).

The key features distinguishing each new model are as follows.

 (1) Model No. NL10276BC30-18: 15.0-Inch XGA TFT LCD
Supporting XGA resolution, this 15-inch model will achieve the highest level of luminance in NEC LCD Technologies’ entire industrial range. Other features include:
(A) High luminance of 500cd/m²
(B) A wide viewing angle of 150 degrees horizontally and 130 degrees vertically
(C) A high contrast ratio of 450:1

 (2) Model No. NL8048BC24-01: 9.0-Inch W-VGA TFT LCD
This model will be the first 9.0-inch TFT LCD in NEC LCD Technologies’ range to support W-VGA. Other features include:
(A) High luminance of 400cd/m²
(B) A wide viewing angle of 160 degrees horizontally and 140 degrees vertically
(C) A high contrast ratio of 500:1

(3) Model No. NL8060BC21-02: 8.4-Inch SVGA TFT LCD
As the first 8.4-inch LCD to support SVGA resolution in NEC LCD Technologies’ lineup, this model also has the following features:
(A) High luminance of 400cd/m²
(B) A wide viewing angle of 160 degrees horizontally and 140 degrees vertically
(C) A high contrast ratio of 500:1

Screens boasting high levels of visibility, enabling clear display of a variety of information and facilitating ease of reading, are highly sought after in the industrial market.  This need has escalated in recent years with the diversity of installation locations and environments where appliances are used. 

“NEC LCD Technologies positions itself ahead of the competition with an expanded range of LCDs for industrial use, developed specifically to support the industry’s need for a broader range of sizes, resolutions and functions, which have been unavailable to date,” said Hidetoshi Usui, department manager in charge of product planning and marketing, NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd. “By continuing to listen to the voice of the market and our customers worldwide, we will continue to enhance usabilty and expand areas of application by developing LCDs capable of operation in every possible environment.”

Screens boasting high levels of visibility, enabling clear display of a variety of information NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd. takes into account the special needs of the industrial market in creating products through its own unique technology and know-how that it has cultivated over many years. It will continue to further strengthen its product lineup aiming at exploitation of new fields and markets.
